- John Lautner’s rustic-modern cabin, tucked away in the San Jacinto mountains outside LA, is a classic example of organic architecture. In 1957, the Pearlman family used an unbuildable lot at Idyllwild to raise a bold dwelling that erases the line between inside and outside.
On the panoramic view side of the home, rough, unmilled logs act as structural support, but accompanied only by floor-to-ceiling glass, they become camouflaged with the surrounding oaks, cedars and pines.
Lautner (a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright) went on to become world-renowned, but the Pearlman Cabin in the resort town of Idyllwild, was his first round house (even before his iconic Chemosphere (1960) or Zimmerman Residence (1968). Nancy Pearlman, who was 10 when the home was built, remembers it was her mother who wanted the round house to go with the round table as a centerpiece.
“It just seems so natural to me to have one big beautiful room,” explains Nancy, who says they’ve slept 25 on the floor, “It’s very rustic, but it’s very practical”.
Nancy’s uncle built the home while living in a tent. He only needed help with a few elements, like installing the massive windows and dynamiting some of the boulders to lay a foundation.

Im addicted to your channel, Kirsten. Like others have said, I appreciate that you don't add music and we can hear the natural sounds. I also appreciate that there isn't an intro, and you keep the focus on the home/dwelling/person being interviewed. Your children are also so respectful. I can only imagine how valuable it is to have this exposure to new places and people to their upbringing. Thank you, and I will always look forward to your content. Please never change!
Same! They are living the life I would love to live one day
I love that home owner ... she is so full of life
She has so many great memories in that home. I hope that the cabin will remain in her family, there will be generations of stories.
What a work of art. Thank you for showing us this. How rich your children are to experience such spaces. What good parents they have.
США деградирует , для русского это сарай в лесу
This is one of my favorite Lautner designs. His use of actual tree trunks for columns to support the roof and those big glass windows is what really make this "cabin" stand out.
Ok, the hidden wedge window framing is genius.
Yes it is! Brilliant, and I’ll remember it!
I can see how hospitable she is by the way she laid out the table with all the food and drinks. She had to make you feel very welcome. Jane, Philadelphia
When the best of the best are coming to visit you lay out the whole spread.
John Lautner. A member of the Holy Trinity of genius 20th century architects. This is my favorite of his designs, I bow down ❤
tha little title card .... "by John Lautner" wow! I love this MCM with rustic materials
It says a ton about him that he just sat on the land for a full day to get a bit of the feel of it! Definitely applause is due here for really tuning in.
"You can't do this anymore" explains so much
You cannot color food with arsenic any more.

Exactly gov has to come in and over regulate just about everything.
@@mrjacktraeger There are reasons for regulations.
My very favorite interview of a beautiful energetic loving lady. You can tell she loves children. I hope she has grandchildren because they would sure love her. If I could choose any home you’ve shown, this one is my favorite, the very best.
Nancy is such a delightful, sweet soul. I love how good she is with the kids. Cool to hear all the house memories and glad she has kept the place up.
Uncle Bill is the real hero here
Beautiful structure, and what nice lady showing it to us through you.🏡 😀
What an incredible Uncle & Architect and Builder who left a beautiful legacy for the family to enjoy Nature.
Its great that the kids can and want to ask questions!
Странные вы американцы .
I especially appreciate that such interesting things got built for a time. It really was a special period until the 70s when wealth combined with a relative lack of zoning. Lots of wild safety violations in the homes featured on this channel. But there’s something special that was lost when zoning and building regs came into effect.
I LOVE her energy!
A don't know which I like better. The delightful lady of the wonderful house.
This reminds me of my family and our cabin that was built by my dad, brothers and extended family. It wasnt as beautiful architecturaly but everything else is just the same. Ours was rustic built in the early 50's. It was like a time capsule with all of the old books, magazines, board games that we enjoyed over and over again. We too had no tv. My parents wanted us to enjoy nature and family time. I remember when my dad replaced the dishwasher at home with a newer model, he asked Mom if she wanted the old one taken to the cabin. My mom refused because the cabin was the only place where us kids had to do the dishes. Those were wonderful times spent in the woods at that cabin with family and friends. This video took me back. Even the sound of the jays in the trees. Thats the sound of my beloved family cabin.
Kirsten I love your videos! Been watching them for years…
Thank you.
Perfect. Aside from, the insulation problem. But if you aren't living there all the time you just need a good fire at times and then get into your sleeping bag. I would have loved growing up there.
I love that this work of art is still a family vacation home.
John Lautner design shines. Great spot
The cabin is so unique, the view to die for. I really appreciated how she talked with your kids. Thank you for sharing.
Kirsten has an uncanny knack for finding the very best. This is the coolest treehouse ever.
This place is stunning and luxurious on a heart and soul level.
Its weird that I don't know you, yet remember back before you even met your spouse. All the same, your channel retains a solid score for interestingness.
So good I'll watch it a second time!
What a cool lady,thanks for sharing your home😍!
There is rarely such a thing as an unbuildable lot, only unrealistic expectations. Cool vision here.👍🍁🤙
Very cool, especially for its time.
When she walked into the home, she excitedly said, WOW! And the owner of the home was laughing with delight, understanding the impression the room makes on people. It is so beautiful, and I love the angles of the glass walls that face the forest. She is exactly correct, that it makes it seem like you are IN the forest. I absolutely love that room. I probably would have skipped a little into the room myself, delighted and not really knowing how to react. Kristen immediately sat down to enjoy the view.
I love this owner, because she loves the excitement of Los Angeles - I loved the 30 years I lived there - but also appreciates this quiet beauty in the mountains. I like the Lake Elsinore area, and I found a couple of lots that I could afford, but they too are unbuildable - too steep. It would cost a lot of money to build there, and I wouldn't be able to get much of a house and there would be no yard for my dog, unless I spent more money to have it terraced. So, for me, it remains unbuildable. There are some lots, okay, but not with a lake view.
I love the refrigerator - it fools you because one assumes there is an oven beneath the burners.
I'm so glad you went to see this house and that we can see it too. And, the owner is such a sweet woman who loves to laugh and is delighted with her home today as much as she has always been. It's really amazing.
I am a complete and utter Lautner-maniac. Thank you for this!
Wow, I’m not sure who I love more. The wonderful home, or the adorable owner! Thank you Kirsten et family xx
What a place!
Just LOVE the idea that Pete Seeger was there! This house is definitely not made of ticky tacky! (incidentally, I named my childhood invisible friend after that song, the idea that it has a connection to such a beautiful place makes it extra special)
I'd like to know more about the architecture, especially how the ceiling, roof, and supports were constructed.
Little slice of heaven. So blessed.
Thank you for this. As a builder I learned a couple things that may inspire a custom home
Oh my gosh Kirsten what a beautiful production you made! I adore how your children engaged the host so much, she thrived off off their questions and they were genuinely interested in what she said, what wonderful people you are raising. She was like a garden fairy and a fire fly all woven together flitting around her forest home so happy to entertain and share this lovely space her parents created, I felt like I was there. So much happiness I’m moved emotionally by the beauty.
The videography you and your husband created is stunning!
Большой Души был Человек который создал это место! Смотрел и наслаждался каждым кадром. Дзен чистой воды.
what an uncle
I love Idy!! I go as often as I can. I'd live there if I could!
Okay, this is a seriously unique (and wonderful) home.
Incredible.
Voilà une dame particulièrement intéressante. J'aime son intérêt pour la jeunesse, sans doute parce qu'elle est jeune elle même :-)
I am a huge mid-century modern fan and this is a beautiful place.
I could certainly live there happily full-time, but I already live in a mid-century modern home that I love. (It's just not round.) Thanks for this wonderful tour.
I love it so much
Your mom and her brother
were genius …it’s just so special
Just wonderful … I thank you for sharing 😘…
What a marvelous house! I lived in Julian CA for a while (south of her) and my in-laws had a home from the same era. Many houses up in those mountains were built as vacation homes. She is so dear - making it fun for the kids!
What a unique home 🏠. Love those views of the forest. Wow mind blown🤯 Thanks for sharing this video.
This is a really good tour of the home with the owner and you with your kids there. Extra nostalgia and excitement from the tour guide. Excellent care of their Masterpiece 😎
Nice sharing Vidio.. very inspiring and useful.. always succses 🇮🇩🙏🌸👍
Another great presentation. The owner was so informative and entertaining. Her childlike joy was contagious. It’s understandable since the energy/vibe of the residence is joyful, intimate and relaxed.
An unassuming but still magical little cabin in the woods. John Lautner was probably the master of mid twentieth century California residential architecture. He apprenticed with Wright and learned much but went on to carve out his own distinctive style. A round floor plan like the one in this cabin is a design he often used but the houses for which he is famous were much larger, richer, and more intricately detailed. Mansions.
OMG of course! John Lautner!
Wow what a place!
Beautiful story. It's heartening to hear of such inventiveness and individuality, especially since the young folks can see what is possible.
Love it , God bless 🙏
Lautner and Lloyd Wright were both amazing architects.
A sensible house. It fits into the landspace to become part of the landscape. It has everything needed for a comfortable, healthy life.
The really sensible part is in the living arrangements. A kitchen fully connected to all activities, yet it can be closed off to small children. Living and sleeping in the same family space might be a challenge full time, depending on work and school schedules. Dad's own bedroom for snoring is a good escaperoom for anyone needing downtime. A space big enough to enjoy individual activity yet holding everyone in a cosy cocoon. Magical.
Straight windows also keep building/repair costs down. Interesting shapes and nooks too.
I live near Idyllwild and the people who live/vacation in the mountains always have the most interesting stories! ❤❤
Uau que show de casa e de estilo de vida essa senhora foi e ainda é muito privilegiada, e Kirsten continue essa saga de descobrir histórias e moradias fora da caixa...viva la vida. Sou o David do Brazil, viva la vida, com toda essa loucura de inversão magnética, mas seguimos....
Это один из самых необычных домов, которые я пока видел. Спасибо !
I love the way she engaged with the children -- giving them guessing games like "where is the refrigerator?"
Incredible!!!
Wonderful space and sweet memories. A perfect episode.
You’re one of my absolute favorite content creators Kirsten.
Appreciate you and the Family!
🙏
WOW!!! What an incredible “cabin”. Those picture windows set into the tree trunks is brilliant! It truly gives the feel of being outdoors.
This is a wonderful build and a wonderful hostess! Thank you so much for the stories and histories of this place!
My dream has always been to build a round house, but I LOVE the wall spacing mimicking being in a forest with trees. Awesome!
Beautiful!!! Production. Kirsten your family is beautiful❤
Wow. That's a great place.
I agree, one room, open concept is perfect. I'd want to upgrade the kitchen, but that's it.
Thanks for sharing so we can also enjoy the fruits of your labor and those that had the vision and tenacity to make a dream ad reality.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !
That view is absolutely gorgeous!
How wonderful!!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful!
Kirsten, I appreciate how you lets us enjoy her great memories. Thanks.
So fabulous. Love it all!
How beautiful!❤

Another fun video! Thank you both for bringing the world of fascinating architecture to YT.
If anyone needs more Lautner, this home was also featured recently on the Open Space channel.
Wow!! That is AMAZING! 🤩
Beautiful home, perfect for the location, great that it is south facing for the winter sun and amazing view.
Thanks for sharing. My favorite trip up Mt Jacinto is from Palm Springs, up the aerial tramway. What a rush, and an extreme temperature change from the desert floor to the station on the peak
Beautiful 😊 Best yet 😊
Gorgeous.
Nice!! What a lovely lady.
